Dirs. Megan McMurchy, Margot Oliver, Margot Nash, Jeni Thornley. 1983, 107 mins. DCP. The 1970s saw a radical revision of Australian history through a feminist lens. This film was created as part of the 1978 Women and Labour Conference and went on to become a feminist essay film classic. Five years in the making, with contributions from hundreds of women and over 200 Australian films, it is an investigation and celebration of women’s work from colonial settlement to the present, a story told by women: Aboriginals, migrants, convicts, and a variety of others. Narrated by actress Noni Hazelhurst.
